It's barely 18 months since it was the 'turf moor roar'.
The team is relatively as successful (for now) that won the league so whilst it's easy and not wrong to draw comparisons between the style of play being a contributory factor, it's not the only one; there's plenty.
- the walk on pricing structure, which for a club like ours is madness. I would baulk at paying £200 a game for a family of 4 if we played like prime Barcelona. It also only really works if supply outstrips demand which at our club it
often doesn't. When it does, is the badwill it generates really worth it for the tiny fraction of extra brass?
- The weather
- The time of year and people likely having prior engagements
- The demographic of fans, incorporating those who would come and sing but can't afford or don't want to come, our sizeable older fanbase that just want to watch in peace and also the ones that are happy to expend effort talking on social media about the atmosphere and are lambasting folk for saying that they're a bit bored and therefore lack motivation to sing, but are unwilling to expend effort doing something about it or lead the way with it.
Finally, I've not seen it mentioned but like an ever increasing amount of people I pay £50 for a subscription and £20 for a VPN per year, and I can then watch whatever game I want whenever I want. Take all of those factors above, including that the atmosphere is poor, an hours travel in my case and why would you bother?
There are probably other factors to consider that I've missed but it is multifaceted and not solely attributable to what's on the pitch. Certainly not going to be solved by someone braying a drum or Tom ******* Hark
